Speed Sensor snapped
So my ABS/VSA light went on and I decided to check if my speed sensors were really dirty and needed to be cleaned. Needless to say, when I tried to remove the sensor, it snapped, leaving most of it stuck inside the hole. I tried to go at it with a flat-head screwdriver, but I got nowhere. I ended up putting some caulk on the exposed wires and bolting the lead back on the steering knuckle.
Is there any way that I can get the sensor out of the hole, or is this something I need to take to the dealer?

The sensor is held in place w/ a bolt through a bracket of the sensor. If I understand, you removed the bolt and when sensor was pulled, part of sensor remained in knuckle sensor opening.
If that is the case, you might try drilling a hole through the sensor w/ progressively larger drills (if accessible). Hopefully, it will come loose at some point and allow extraction w/ a long wood screw threaded into the drilled hole.
If that doesn't work, you will have to remove the wheel knuckle to access and drive out w/ a hammer and drift. Not too bad a job.
good luck
